SPRINGFIELD – At least three people were injured in a hit and run collision early Tuesday night at the corner of Alden Street and Eastern Avenue in the city’s Old Hill neighborhood, a fire official said.

The Springfield Fire Department was on the scene for about 30 minutes tending to the three people who suffered minor injuries in the crash that left their vehicle flipped on its side, said Dennis Leger, aide to Fire Commissioner Joseph Conant.

Leger said two people were taken by ambulance to Baystate Medical Center for treatment; it was unclear whether the third person was also transported, Leger said.

Their vehicle struck near the intersection by a second vehicle, which fled the scene, Leger said, adding that emergency personnel did not have to extricate anyone at the scene.
